About this book

Rollo, twelve years old, crosses the Atlantic to Europe with Jane and no adult in charge, since his parents and brother Thanny had gone ahead a year earlier for Mr. Holiday's health. Eleven chapters carry the pair from taking passage and the embarkation through settling in, life on deck, a storm and the passengers' lottery to the arrival.

Jacob Abbott's preface calls the series instruction rather than amusement, with accurate facts about places and customs. It is the first volume of Rollo's Tour in Europe, which runs to ten.
